The 2008 Chablis Les Preuses from Vincent Dauvissat presents a reflective expression of its Grand Cru origins. This wine is sourced from a mere single hectare within the renowned Les Preuses vineyard, characterised by its Kimmeridgian limestone soils, allowing for a distinct mineral profile. The vintage faced difficult weather, resulting in wines that exhibit high acidity and a defined Chablisien character. Aromas of citrus, green apple and flint are accompanied by a saline touch. On the palate, it offers tension and precision, with a disciplined, lingering mineral finish.

The 2008 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru from Vincent Dauvissat comes across a little backward on the nose, but gradually unfolds to reveal limestone, granite and honeysuckle aromas. There is a sense of steeliness to the Les Preuses that I admire, though I find the aromatics less spicy than other vintages. The palate is pinned upon an absolutely killer line of acidity. This has razor-sharp mineral tension coupled with outstanding salinity, rendering it very youthful, just a tang of Seville orange marmalade and a viscous texture on the finish giving away its age. There is much potential here.Neal Martin1st February 2019
